An LTM Specialist is troubleshooting an issue with an application configured on an LTM device. The application works properly when accessed directly via the servers; however, it does not work when accessed via the LTM device. The virtual server, 192.168.1.211:443, is configured to SNAT using the address 192.168.1.144 and references a pool with the member 192.168.10.80:443. The virtual server has no Client or Server SSL profiles associated.

Change virtual server port to 8443.

C.

Add SSL off-loading to the pool member.
